Among the first to work were Brightside (W. L. Aitken) and Diplomacy (O Neill). They galloped seven in 1.44, the last three well in 43. Diversio (V. J. Sellars) appeared : to be going better than Repatriation (Gunn) and Co-operate <D. Harris) at the end of a mile run in 2.1, the last 'three in 44.

He worked really well and cut the distance cut in 1.41 3-5. i Ercoupe (M. Andrews) and Manai wanui (A. Temperton) were together all the way in a first-class school over the big fences. They started and fin- ! ished with the double brush, jumping 11 fences in all. I They were followed by Newel Post I (C. Hartley) and Gallant Bill (M. ! Thurston) in a similar trial, and both I jumped splendidly. I Mr Thunder (Thurston) was put over five steeplechase fences, includI ing the tough ones at the south end lof the course.
